Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) therapy is a highly researched treatment that has the potential to promote immunomodulation and anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and antimicrobial activities. It is thought that it can enhance internal organ function, reverse tissue remodeling, and achieve significant organ repair and regeneration. However, the limited infusion, survival, and engraftment of transplanted MSCs diminish the effectiveness of MSCs-based therapy. Consequently, various preconditioning methods have emerged as strategies for enhancing the therapeutic effects of MSCs and achieving better clinical outcomes. In particular, the use of natural small molecule compounds (NSMs) as a pretreatment strategy is discussed in this narrative review, with a focus on their roles in regulating MSCs for injury repair in vital internal organs. Additionally, the discussion focuses on the future directions and challenges of transforming mesenchymal stem cell research into clinical applications.

Tumor initiation represents the first step in tumorigenesis during which normal progenitor cells undergo cell fate transition to cancer. Capturing this process as it occurs in vivo, however, remains elusive. Here we employ spatiotemporally controlled oncogene activation and tumor suppressor inhibition together with multiomics to unveil the processes underlying oral epithelial progenitor cell reprogramming into tumor initiating cells at single cell resolution.

Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is a condition caused by damage to the basal uterine layer which can lead to partial or full occlusion of the uterine cavity. Although traditional treatment options have been useful in mild and moderate cases, they have been unsatisfactory in severe IUA cases. Therefore, it is essential to improve the treatment strategies of IUA.

Proteomic Analysis of Mesenchymal Stem Cell-derived Exosomes in Psoriasis.

Curr Mol Med

January 2025

Shanxi Key Laboratory of Stem Cells for Immunological Dermatosis, Institute of Dermatology, Department of Dermatology, Taiyuan Central Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, Taiyuan, Shanxi, China.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the unique proteins in exosomes from mesenchymal stem cells derived from psoriatic lesions and compare them with those from healthy human skin. It seeks to identify potential regulatory factors that may influence the differential effects observed in these exosomes.

Methods: Dermal mesenchymal stem cell exosomes were isolated from healthy human skin (HDMSCs-EXO) and psoriatic lesion of patient (PDMSCs-EXO).

Background: Wound healing is a complex procedure frequently delayed in patients with underlying chronic conditions. Despite essential advances in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, wound healing remains challenging, warranting novel methods for promoting wound healing. It has been demonstrated that exosomes are one of the main secretory products of different cell types, such as Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs), for regulating various biological processes, including wound healing.
